Unless you use the blunt part.

I dunno, that would mean you're holding the sword by the blade.

Or the hilt while you don't hit them with the edge.

I always assume that the stranglee is struggling (unless it's unconscious), which means that it would probably cut itself at some point.

When you use the flat part?
Though it would be funny to strangle someone by pushing the sharp end of a spear into their throat.

Well, to strangle something, you have to apply pressure. And even if you were using the flat, the sharp edges of the sword would cause cutting, especially if the stranglee were shifting around.

Although maces, hammers, spears, and probably axes can be used in a way that makes sense. Then again, DF isn't supposed to make sense.

So they think the best way to strangle someone is to push the sharp end of a spear into the enemy.

The hell are you talking about with this "Flat part" of the sword?

I sharpen every part of my sword, including the handle.
My armor is made of a combination of calluses, scar tissue, dried blood and vomit.
My grog is nothing but the fermented blood and bone marrow of my enemies and my meal is nothing but the screams of elven children.

I am a Dwarf!

Don't forget the rock-hard coating of mud.

Also, everyone knows the only true dwarf weapon is the war hammer.

Im pretty sure if you sharpen every part of a weapon its no longer a hammer/mace/sword, more like a spear.

Spears only have one sharp point.

The joke here is that it's physically impossible to sharpen every surface of a weapon. Thats why it's dwarfy

You pick up the sword, you drop the sword, your hand flies off in a bloody arc.

If you are using a clump of mud as a weapon and you strangle someone to death with it shouldn't it be more like shoving it down their throat so they choke to death?
